Fossil FS6184 Everett Chronograph Gold Tone Bracelet Watch - W10504
Ref. FS6184
Sits in Fossil’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Fossil watches we list, which start at £97.
Price range £97 to £399 across 108 Fossil watches in stock.The Everett line sits at the sportier end of Fossil's range, and this version commits to that fully: a 44mm gold PVD case with a brown sunray dial that catches directional light and shifts in tone from amber to near-black depending on the angle. At 11mm it wears relatively flat for a 44mm chronograph, which keeps it from stacking too high under a cuff. The VR31 driving it is a Seiko Instruments calibre — the same supplier whose movements end up in watches considerably further up the market — and it is the right choice for a chronograph used casually: accurate, low-maintenance, and with no requirement for winding or position sensitivity. The deployant clasp is a practical touch at this size, holding the bracelet securely without the minor daily irritation of a butterfly.

Learn more about Fossil
Tom Kartsotis founded Fossil in Texas in 1984 after noticing that fashion watches manufactured in Hong Kong could be produced far more cheaply than the market assumed. The name came from his brother's nickname.
The company's insight was presentation. Fossil watches were designed with a deliberately retro American aesthetic and sold in collectable tin boxes, which made an inexpensive quartz watch feel like an object worth keeping. It worked at scale, and Fossil became one of the largest watch companies in the world by unit volume.
The business then grew primarily by acquisition and licensing. Fossil owns Zodiac, Misfit, and the leather goods brand Skagen, and manufactures watches under licence for a long list of fashion houses — Michael Kors, Armani Exchange, Diesel, Kate Spade, and others. For much of the 2010s Fossil produced a substantial share of all branded fashion watches sold globally.
It was also an early and significant player in smartwatches, launching Android Wear devices from 2015 and becoming the largest maker of Google-powered watches, before that market consolidated around Apple, Samsung, and Google itself.
Fossil remains a public company headquartered in Richardson, Texas, and continues to produce its own mechanical and automatic lines alongside the quartz and connected ranges.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
18mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
